PLANO, Texas, Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
Akorbi, one of the health insurance industry's largest suppliers of localization, interpretation and translation services, has launched a new service to help clients maintain and update their multilingual web sites. The service is already in high demand by health insurance companies driven by the Affordable Care Act, which gives health insurance companies the opportunity to reach millions of Americans who have limited English proficiency.

Akorbi's team of full-time technology architects and professional developers have created custom code that allows clients to replicate web site related changes across their multilingual web sites. Akorbi's team of specialized translators are able to take into account client's terminology, style guides and glossaries and make changes to web sites in a very quick and timely manner - many times within 48 hours.

Akorbi's technology team is able to maintain all of a client's multilingual web sites, while also ensuring that the look and feel of individual sites is culturally appropriate and relevant. In addition, clients can rest assured that changes are applied across all of their web sites, so they can effectively reach and communicate with non-English speaking consumers, while also meeting the communication regulations imposed by the Affordable Care Act.

"Health insurance companies are realizing that they need to have a strong multicultural communication strategy in place in order to reach the millions of Americans who have limited English proficiency," said Claudia Mirza, chief executive officer of Akorbi. "Our strong technical and multicultural infrastructure is able to support those strategies effectively and efficiently."
Akorbi's multilingual web site maintenance services are supported by the company's proprietary and patented translation management system. The system uses language databases to quickly translate complex compliance documents and reduce translation costs, increase speed-to-market and minimize project management costs. For the health insurance industry, it allows Akorbi's team to translate personalized health insurance letters, benefit summaries, and marketing and communication materials - in just a matter of hours.
